Cinnamomum glanduliferum ?


Yes, appears close to images and details at
https://efloraofindia.com/efi/cinnamomum-glanduliferum/


The infloescences (panicles) are in clusters. Hence I would suggest Camphora glaucescens rather than C. glandulifera.


In that case the following will also be Camphora glaucescens
MS March,2018/02 Cinnamomum glanduliferum for confirmation
Pl. confirm.


If the inflorescences are crowded at the tips and pubescent, then glaucescens; otherwise if solitary, axillary and glabrous then glandulifera. I am not getting a clear picture here.


Definitely pubscent (in MS March,2018/02 Cinnamomum glanduliferum for confirmation) as can be seen.
The other aspect is not clear.


My MS, April, 2025/01 is Camphora glaucescens
